Unit 310 Photo Imaging Output workflow

In this blog entry I will be providing clear and consistent evidence of my understanding of the workflow process that is involved in producing images. every thing from selecting the method of image production to identification of image output problems and resolution of the issues.

So to put it basically what is my workflow:

Camera.. take a picture with a DSLR on the RAW quality setting

PC... download the RAW file to the pc

Photo editing software.... adjust the RAW file image as required

PC... save the finished file as a TIFF and JPEG

Back up all images as TIFFS to separate back up hard drive

Online printer..... send JPEG file to the online printer for printing of single prints, books or calendar
